Too many cooks? Yes, can agree to that...
Wouldn't it be acceptable for the Captain when he sensed a loss of control, to immediately re-take his seat and see for himself, rather than obtusely peering over or between them and still missing the vital clue.
Or is this a definite no-no... sorry not acquainted with cockpit protocol (apart from the the 2-day old pizza swipe)

OK then,
if true, so back to PNF (and then the Captain) seeing 'stick permanently in groin' and grabbing his collar, or looking for an old pizza
I know Airbus will persist, and in principle I am not against -some form of sidestick - but you must not remove its poor relationship to the human frame as a primary control, nor the columns inherent benefits (which are inarguable and proven) from the argument.. That is fact - the feedback to one and all - without additional instrument scan and mental clutter - is INCONTROVERTIBLE.
In
this accident,
this Sidestick did not do its proponents any favours... please do not argue aginst such an obvious conclusion
